I still think they will push office working in councils to push people out and then quietly bring it back when they employ their own people.

Eh, it depends on the job market and whether it’s needed to attract candidates.

It’s going to be interesting to watch them try and find ‚wasteful spending‘ in the public sector after 15 years of chronic underfunding and asset stripping.

The truth is that Reform are dominated by private-sector business people who hold all the usual prejudices against public servants, like most Brits do TBH.
It’s kind of reassuring that DOGE has been such a failure, maybe they will learn from that.

They could win next election alone if they pushed working from home.

It’s the most common business tactic in this new generation; mandate 5 day RTO, upheave all lives centred and structured on WFH and then watch people leave, it’s political and good optics.

I work at a county council and there is plenty of space where I work as so many never come in. I generally think a blend of WFH and office work is decent and I must say that for new people joining a business then office working is great for learning and understanding roles and how places work.
In regards to the news recently of forcing people to come into an office, if your contract does not state hybrid and working from home as part of the role then working from home is then down to managers and departments discretion.

Another great Reform idea.
There was a post earlier where someone had asked about their agricultural policies and Reform said they want to bring back fox hunting. They’re such delightful people.
They also want people back down in coal mines. I wonder do they also want to repeal indoor smoking and drink driving bans.

I work for a local council. WFH is still used if there is business need. For example, I work in the office, out in the community and WFH. Some managers WFH on certain days, when they are on Teams meetings all day, because makes zero sense for them to come in. There also isn’t enough office space for all as WFH has proved to increase productivity in the most part. WFH is not the standard now, but a hybrid version where it is beneficial.
To those who can’t be bothered to listen he basically thinks its a moral issue because not everybody can work from home, specifically mentioning the people who come to your house to fix something, comparing it to Marie Antoinette saying ‚let them eat cake‘ for some bizarre reason, as if Dave from accounts who has a autism and a dodgy knee has an ego the size of the richest woman in France.

Banning work from home will probably increase rental prices in bigger cities and nearby areas.

Of all the bullshit culture war nonsense they push, the anti work from home thing is the one I find the most baffling

The plan is to get people through the door, suddenly change the rules to “hybrid”, then when they’re fully in power it’ll be “get in the office or quit”.
Private sector jobs have been doing this too.

Reform only ever roll back rights, they rarely grant them

Has anyone actually come up with a good reason why we have to go back to offices yet?
I haven’t actually seen any reasons given.
And, I don’t want your reason for not liking WFH, I’m looking for some sort of official, high level thought (you can do it) as to _why_ people need to be _forced_ into an office against their will when _all evidence suggests_ increased happiness and therefore productivity.

I saw Reform complain a council had spent money on chairs.
When they make wfh people come into the office they will have to spend more on new chairs for them.
They make zero sense

So what? Local government, being taxpayer funded, should be held to higher standards of productivity, efficiency and oversight. How a political party chooses to administer itself internally is of no concern to me.
